Mix brownie batter per package instructions. Pour into prepared pan and bake per package instructions. Let cool completely. Use a fork to break up the baked brownies.

In a large bowl, use a large spoon to mix together the brownies, peppermint extract, and frosting. You can refrigerate the mixture to make forming the brownie balls easier. Form brownie truffles (2 tsp) and place on wax paper lined sheet tray. Place in freezer for at least 1 hour to set up.

Melt chocolate melts or almond bark in microwave safe bowl. Dip each brownie truffle in melted chocolate, use a spoon to remove, place back on sheet tray, and garnish with crushed candy canes right away (chocolate firms up quickly on the frozen brownies).

Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
